DEATH reaPed rich harvest yesterday.
One Of the most terrible disasters on record
occurred in the British Channel. While a
dense fog was prevailing two steamers col
hded, and one, the W. A. Scholten, sank
within twenty minutes About ninety of
the passengers and crew escaped with their
lives. One hundred and forty are missing,
nearly all of whom must have perished.
Amid the conflicting stories OF survivors it
is impossible to locate the blame for this
dire disaster. That there was criminal
negligence on the part of some one, is GER
tain. Such an accident could never have
happened if navigation laws bad been
strictly complied with.

VIII Result.
Special 7sIeQTdn 10 The Register.
PARKERsBURG, November 90. Last
night news Of an important decision, to
this city and of no little general interest,
made by the Supreme Court Of Appeals,
was received here. 1t was the case of the
electric light and gas companies. Under
an ordinance passed some years ago the
gas company claimed exclusive right to
light the city, as the ordinance expressly
gave that right for term of years.
Some months ago the electric light
company was established, and the Council
contracted with it to light the
streets. Work was begun when
the Gas company asked Judge Jack
son of the State Circuit Court, to restrain
the Electric Light company from further
execution of its work. as it was an in
fringement of the privilege as contained in
the ordinance. The Gas company also
asked that the Electric company be re-
strained from lighting private buildings
Judge Jackson granted the first prayer,
but denied the second. He held that the
ordinance passed by the city Council, Civ
ing the Gas company exclusive privileges
was binding upon the city, and that
no company could light the city but the
gas company, and that only with gas.
In regard to lighting private dwellings, he
held that the gas company had no exclu-
sive privilege, and that the electric CON-
pany had the right to do it.
Neither company being satisfied with
the decision, the case was at once taken
to the Supreme Court of Appeals, which
has Just decided it, reversing so much of
Judge JacksOn's decision as granted the
injunction restraining the electric COM
pany from ligting the streets The ordi-
nance with the gas company was not such
Il one as gave this company such exclusive
privileges that the City Council could not
make contracts with other companies.
The decision means the streets of this
city lighted by electricity at once, whereas
had the gas company been victorious We
would have had TO wait nearly ten years,
as its so-caled exclusive contract does not
expire till that time.
